Ray – The Bass Guitar Man

This post is about Ray. He is loved by his wife Tamika and their two boys. For father’s day Tamika wanted to surprise Ray with his own photoshoot. They came down from New Jersey to visit family and during their stay she surprised him with this shoot.  Ray received his inspiration for the bass guitar when he heard a song being played by the group Comissioned. He told his dad that he wanted to learn to play and 20 years later he’s still playing.

Tobacco Reality Unfiltered (TRU) – Video

Tobacco Reality Unfiltered (TRU)

Special thanks to Minister Yvette Crawford, Eric Moore, Wayne Heartwell, the NEBC children and Melvin Dailey (actor) for making this video possible.

I had the privilege of being asked to film, edit and act as director of photography for the TRU Anti Smoking Campaign which was being hosted by my church “North East Baptist Church”.

Chris, his sister, daughter and nieces – Portraits

Joy, laughter and love are the spice of life.  On this shoot with Chris & his family just out of nowhere the sibling (fun) rivalry kicked up into 1st gear. While I was trying to get them into position for the portrait a little loving harassment just exploded onto the scene.   Its nice to see two siblings that understanding the importance of playing.  As adults sometimes we get too caught up into what is going on and we can become stoic and serious.  These two started to cut up and below what you see is fun taking place at its most pure level.  Chris, I also still harass my sisters.. it is our duty as a brother.

Mt. Bright Baptist Church – DVD Intro & Cover

Mt. Bright Baptist Church had me to come in and film their revival series under the leadership of Pastor Derric Gregory, Sr. The theme of the revival came from Ezekiel and the question of whether or not the dry bones can live.

Below is the intro and label  created for their DVD.

Step #1 take a picture of Pastor Gregory in the pulpit.
